Gamping : Camping in Garden

PARIS & MADRID--(BUSINESS WIRE)--After "Couchsurfing" and "Wwoofing", travelers are now more likely to
try a new style of vacationing: "Gamping." A contraction of
"Garden-Camping," Gamping allows for camping at private houses for a few
euros. Original, practical, and inexpensive, this new trend is sweeping
Europe.

Based on the principle of collaborative consumption, "Gamping" connects
campers and people willing to offer their garden, around the world.

An alternative to wilderness camping and classic camping, Gamping offers
another innovative way to camp.

This low cost (between €5 and 7 per night, per person) allows the
enjoyment of spacious and private places, the comfort of the
inhabitants, and more (barbecue, pool, tennis court...)

The man behind this idea is Joseph Léopold, who sought an alternative to
traditional campsites and wilderness camping.

For a little background, upon returning from a trip to Italy, he
returned home to find himself without his keys, so he camped... in his
garden! Charmed by the experience, he became convinced that other
travelers might be, too. Therefore, he decided to create gamping.com to
create a platform for this new hosting paradigm... and to help the most
people benefit from it!
